All Chapters of The Heir Contract: My One Night Stand : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

OLIVIA POVI had never drunk this much in my life.I had been sitting at that bar for hours, waiting for the pain in my chest to ease. It didn't. So I kept ordering shots and checking my phone, as if Jack might text to say it had all been a mistake.He wouldn't. He was too busy with his new play doll.I didn't know which hurt more, that I had shown up late to my interview and probably lost the job. Or that the man I loved had been sleeping with someone else the whole time."I'm going to forget that jerk," I muttered. "Shit. All I need is a distraction."And as if the heavens had heard my prayer, someone slid onto the stool beside mine.He ordered the exact same drink.I glanced at him. He glanced back. My face heated instantly, and I looked away.When his drink arrived, he downed it in one smooth motion."Another," he told the bartender. Three glasses later, he finally turned to me."Why is a beautiful woman like you sitting here alone, looking like the world just ended?"I studied hi

OLIVIA POV"Argh, this stupid alarm. Why didn't I turn it off?"I rolled over, tangling my legs in my oversized duvet. I wasn't going anywhere today, so why was my alarm going off? I picked up my phone and silenced it with my eyes half closed.Then I grabbed my pillow and rolled to the middle of the bed.And froze.Wait. What was that?I opened my eyes fully and lifted the phone closer to my face. My heart stopped before my brain could catch up.Congratulations. We are pleased to inform you that your application has been successful…"What?" I whispered.I blinked. Read it again. And again.My breath hitched. I sat straight up so fast the sheets slid off my legs."Oh my God." I stood up as I scrolled, my eyes racing over the words. "Oh my God, OH MY GOD!"I jumped out of bed, clutching my phone like it might disappear if I let go. Laughter bubbled out of me, wild and uncontrollable, as I spun around my room."I got the job! I actually got it!"I caught my reflection in the mirror. Mess

CASSIUS POVI cancelled my gym membership that morning for one reason: to avoid a woman named Olivia."Would you like me to move you to our other branch, sir?" the receptionist had asked."No. Cancel it."Three hours later, my driver slowed at my father's gate, and I was still irritated that I'd had to."Drop me here," I said. "I'll walk the rest of the way."I needed the air. Walking up that long drive was the only way I could face my father without already feeling like I'd lost.I had barely taken ten steps when something small and fast slammed into my chest. A bag hit the pavement. Keys scattered across the stone."Watch where you're going, Miss," I said coldly.She looked up.Bronze eyes. Red. Swollen. Wet with tears. Strands of ash-brown hair clung to her cheeks, and her hands were shaking so hard she dropped her keys twice.Olivia.For one second, neither of us moved. My body remembered exactly how she felt against me. I hated that."You," she breathed.My jaw tightened. "Me."T

OLIVIA POVBy the time the black car rolled out of Cassius Lance's driveway, my notepad had three full pages of rules and my hand was cramping.Water at forty degrees. Towels in thirds. Never enter unless called. Never speak unless spoken to. A whole lot more.I read my own handwriting for the fifth time and nearly laughed. I had a degree in Art History. I could name every Renaissance portraitist from memory. And now I was memorizing how a billionaire liked his towels.You will seduce him, Mr. Lance had said.How exactly was I supposed to seduce a man whose bath had a stricter schedule than my entire life?I pressed my forehead against the cool window. Somewhere between the third traffic light and the fourth, I saw her.A girl stood outside a small photo studio, a camera around her neck and a tripod under one arm. Curly hair in a messy bun. I knew that stubborn tilt of her chin. I would have known it in a crowd of thousands.My heart jumped."Tonia.""Ma'am?" the driver asked."Stop t
